Collaborative Research: Determining changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact — NSF Award to University of Rochester
The Eocene (56-33.9 Ma) was a time of profound climatic variability as Earth transitioned from the hothouse, ice-free conditions of the early Eocene, to the warmhouse of the middle Eocene, to the coolhouse of the Oligocene, characterized by lower temperatures and the development of permanent ice sheets on Antarctica.

| Abstract | The Eocene (56-33.9 Ma) was a time of profound climatic variability as Earth transitioned from the hothouse, ice-free conditions of the early Eocene, to the warmhouse of the middle Eocene, to the coolhouse of the Oligocene, characterized by lower temperatures and the development of permanent ice sheets on Antarctica. Based on these large changes in Earth’s climate, it is reasonable to assume that the composition of the pelagic calcifier ecosystem in the Eocene changed in response to evolving pat |
